THE SENSES OF ANIMALS,
Blr John tubboek’s Blaek Poodle "t'nu.* 1
Bees* Sensibility to Sound.
Sir John Lubbock recently delivered a
lecture to the members of the Edinburgh
Philosophical institute on • ‘The Sense and
Senses of Animals,” in the course of
which he said that there had been so
many important recent works published
relating to his subject that he thought it
would be more interesting were he to
deal, for the most part, with his own
observations. Different ideas prevailed
regarding the question of the intelligence
of animals. Some people regarded a dog
as an animal almost as wise and clever as
themselves; but, on asking them if they
thought a dog could realize that two and
two made four, he generally found a good
deal of doubt on that point.
Sir John Lubbock then described the
system which ho had adopted in the
training of his own black poodle dog.
“Van.” He had placed two pieces of
cardboard, on one of which was printed
in large letters the word “food,” the
ortier being blank, on two saucers. In
one of the saucers was food, and the card
with the word upon it. In the other,
the blank card and no food. In about
ten days the dog began to distinguish the
card with the letters from the plain card,
and would go at once to the printed one.
The lecturer then related in some detail
his successful efforts in inducing the dog
to bring him the proper card when he
wanted food, in teaching him to know
other cards containing the words “out,”
“tea,” “bone,” “water.” On bringing
the card marked “out” he would rush
to the door. The cards were not put in
the same places, but in different posi
tions; and in order that the dog might
not be guided by ecent, other cards with
the same markings were used.
No one who saw him look down the
row of cards, and pick out the cue
wanted, could doubt that he sought a
particular card for a particular object.
He had found, at the end of three
months’ experiments, that he could not
get the dog to realize the difference of
colors, and it was just possible that the
dog might be color blind. Ho had also
failed to get the- dog to distinguish
among one, two, three, or four broad
bands upon the cards. In order to
ascertain if bees were sensible to sounds,
he had placed some honey on a musical
box on his lawn. The box played for
ten days without stopping, and then he
removed it to a window sill on the first
floor of his house. Not a bee came to it.
He again placed it on the lawn, and they
again returned to the honey. He next
brought it into the drawing room on the
ground floor, about ten yards from its
former position, but they did not follow;
but on his bringing two or three bees
into the house and putting them on the
honey, they began to feed, and, flying
off, returned with their companions. It
seemed as if they did not hoar the tune.
Regarding the old idea that bees would
not swarm unless they were “tanged”
by the creation of sounds, he was under
the impression that it was the “over
tones” which the insects, heard, and
which were inaudible to our ears. The
sounds were so low as to be beyond otir
range of hearing. Man, he said, had
five senses, and fancied that no ot! ra
were possible; but it was obvious that
we could not measure the infinite by our
own narrow limitations. Even within
the penetration of our own senses there
might be endless sounds which we could
not hear, and colors of which we have
no conception. There was also the other
juestion still remaining for solution, that
tin’ familiar world which surrounded us
might be a different, place altogether for
other animals, in which there was music
we could not hear, colors we could not
See, and sensations which we could not
:onceive. The pursuit of such studies
gave a clew to senses and perceptions of
which we had no conception.—Mechan
ical World.
laOvc by Candle Light.
The expense in light, fuel, etc., which
courtship’brings paterfamilias is a never
worn out joke with our newspapers.
Probably these long enduring fathers
would welcome the introduction of a
system of courtship pursued by the Boers,-
a thrifty racoof Holland descent in South
Africa. Here it is the practice for tha
young man to make known his intention
to the lady of liis choice • by calling,
armed with a long candle. If his suit ia
agreeable to the lady and her family, the
mother lights the candls brought, sticks
a pin in it to indicate how long a time
the young people are allowed to devote to
wooing this time, and leaves them alone.-
When the candle has burned down to
the pin she returns and the young man
must withdraw. The ’ same candle is
brought out at subsequent visits and
burned by installments, and when it ia
entirely consumed, tho girl is expected to
have her trousseau in readiness for tho
wedding.—Alta California.
Hoitry Bergh’s Characteristics.
Mr. Bergh is slender, of medium
height, and carries himself erect and
with great dignity. His face would com
mand attention in any assemblage. His
most distinguishing characteristic is liis
forehead, wliich is massive in breadth
and height and protrudes almost to th ?
line of his resolute chin. In spite of his
busy years and busy life, his eyes retain
their brightness and his voice its pleasant
and cheery softness. It is a voice that is
always under its owner’s perfect control.
Its tones are the same in their quality
when he addresses a court to secure the
conviction of some ignoble brute who
has raised his hand against his more
noble but less fortunate fellow, as when
he comments upon the play to his com
panion between the acts at some notaola
theatrical first night.—Benjamin North
rop. ’
Not Afraid of Girard.
Aman who had just set up in the hard
ware business and who had been a clerk
whore the eccentric millionaire, Stephen Gi
rard, had been in the habit of trading, applied
to him for a share of his patronage. Girard
bought of him, but when the bill was sent 1.1
he found fault and marked down the pric- s.
“Cask of nails,” he growled, “which 1 w.;s
offered for so and so. You have charged :>□
and so, and you must take it off.”
“I cannot do it,” said the young mcrchac.L
“But you must do it,” roared Girard.
“I cannot and will not,” was the final rc
ply ’ .
Girard bolted out, apparently in a rage,
but soon after sent a chock for the wL. ie
bill. The young man began to relent m:d
say to himself: “Perhaps he was offered it ;.i
at that price, but it is all over now. Jam
sorry I did not reduce tho bill and get it cut
of him on something else. His trade would
have been worth a good deal to me.”
By and by, Girard came again and give
him another order. Tho young man was
very courteous and said ho was Almost sorry
he did not reduce tho former bill.
“Reduce a bill!”' exclaimed Girard; “had
you done it 1 would never trade with y. :<
again. I merely meant to see if you Lad
cheated mo.”—Detroit Free Press.
Mr. Gladstone is very methodical. 270 t
only are his books arranged in the most or
derly and convenient way, but he has cii?

searches.—Chicago Tribune. . ..
The American Club in London.
Among ths many burning questions
which yet remain to be settled between
the United States and Great Britain,
none have caused more dissatisfaction in
social circles on the other side of the At
lantic than the lack of reciprocity shown
by us in the matter of club hospitality.
To the English gentleman every club in
New York is open; but the citizen of the
United States, on arrival in London,
finds the portals of the leading clubs in
Pall Mall sealed doors. Distinguished ■
men, it is true, are made honorary mem
bers of the Athenaeum; but it is not every
one who can find exuberant joviality
within its walls. Our countrymen who I
have resided in America, struck by the
very one sided nature of the club treaty
existing between the two countries, have
recently started a fresh addition to the
many London clubs. The American club
aims at affording a meeting place in Lon
don for all men interested in the western
hemisphere. Here members of the Pa
cific club at San J'rancisco, of the Mani
toba club nt Winnipeg, of the Cercle des
Etraiigers at Rio. the Knickerbocker at
New York and the Turf in Piccadilly
meet on terms of perfect equality.—St.
James’ Gazett"
Preservation of Negatives.
The best way to hold a person or keep
track of him is in the possession of a
good negative. Or her would do better,
as there are more illustrations of the <
truth of this remark in the case cf ,
women. I have had a great deal of ex- :
perience in this line and have never :
known it to fail, and for that reason I
am always very particular to preserve !
negatives. They are better than bail I
bonds. I have negatives of a number of j
people now who have left the city and '
who want their friends to forget them, i
and to that end have very carefully I
avoided allowing those friends to know
where they are or which way they had
gone. Yet I hear from them frequently |
by means of orders for pictures printed
off of such and such a negative. I have
know of people missing for months, and
even for years, and whose friends had
given up the search for them, to write to
their photographers for pictures off of an
old negative.—Photographer in Globe-
Democrat.
Where Neatness Pays Well.
“Untie that parcel and tie it up again
neatly.*’
The speaker was the proprietor of
large dry goods store. He was address
ing one of the clerks.
“Don’t you ever send a parcel out of
the store wrapped up carelessly, or you
will leave.”
“Neatly wrapped up parcels are a great
advertisement to the house,” resumed the
merchant. “A customer always likes to
have her parcels put up in as small a
space as possible. It is very annoying
for merchant and customer if the bundle
looks ragged or becomes loosened and
exposes the contents. Wo make all our
clerks learn how to tie up £ parcel before
they are allowed to wait on customers.
They learn in what we call the entering
room.”
“Does it take long to learn?”
“No. A few hours’ experience and
one can wrap up a parcel quite expertly.
It simply requires a little care and order.
Druggists always take a little care to tie
up their parcels, anti hence arc proverbial
for their neatness in this particular. Wc
have our parcels wrapped up neatly, and
on each parcel have the name of our ’
house stamped. The moment any one
secs these packages they know where the
shoppers have made their purchases.
This affords a good deal of advertising,
provided the packages are done up by
skilled hands.”—‘New York Mail and Ex
press.
The Meaning of America.
The meaning of the name Amerigo has
often been discussed, the only thing cer
tain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi, or Garibaldi, so common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. A meric, which
occurs as early as 744 A. I)., is probably
a contracted form of the name Amalaric,
borne by a king of the Visigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop Emricli was
present at the council of Salisbury in 807,
and an Americus Balistariusis mentioned
in the Close Rolls (Thirteenth century).
It has been conjectured that the stem
is im, from which we get the name of
Emma. The meaning of this is not
known with certainty, though Ferguson
thinks it may denote “strife” or “noise.”
Since, however, the name is probably of
Gothic origin, and since the Amalungs
were the royal race of the Ostnigoths, it
is more likely that the stem is amal,
which was formerly thought to mean
“without spot,” but is now more plaus
ibly connected with the old Norse ami,
“labor,” “work.” The suffice ric, cog
nate with rex, reich and rick, means
“rich” or “powerful,” and therefore the
most probable signification, of Amerigo is
•‘strong for labor.”—lsaac Taylor in
Notes and Queries.
Pampering the Puga.
Dog fanciers could toll very funny
stories about their experience with ladies
and their pots. One well known fancier
here says that a wealthy dame from
Fifth avenue will come bowling down to
his shop in her carriage, and, with tears
in her eyes, beg him to save the life cf
her adored pug. He promises her h
will do his best, and, after kissing the
black nose of the little boast and b
many instructions for his welfare, she
drives away. The dog fancier then ex
amines the pug carefully and fads that
it is suffering from being overfed and
getting no exercise, so he puts it on low
rations for a week and has his lx>y run
it up and down the yard for an hour or
so every day until it works some of the
flesh off its bones. Then he rends it back
to the grand dame, who is delighted to
pay $25 for the wonderful transforma
tion that has taken place in her pct.
People who keep large dogs are apt to
have more common sense about their care
than those wl o keep toy animals, and
they do not feed them on meat and candy I
all day long, so they escape the illness
that comes from too much pampering.—

Persians Domestic Spy System.
I found that the easm.-rt way to keep
Persian servants or employes in order
was to encourage the spy system and
listen to informers among them. As
they are quarrelsome and jealous, after
acting on this principle many <-f my diffi
culties were lessened. So great is the
feeling which sometimes exists in a Per 7
sian menage among the servants, that I
have known of a woman to place a dozen
leeches under her hair and then bring
complaint of ha ving been struck on the
head and grievou-ly hurt by a fellow
servant. The charge seemed about to be
substantiated and the alleged offend r
punished, when the- jndgi. aware of th •
character cf the Persian dor., tk. order- 1
an examination. It was th.-:i di:com r-.d
that the blood streaming d.i.vu i:w lace
of the moaning woman wa ; c;u • < by
leeches aMuai'y .■■. ring lur I
at that very time. The cats? was dis
missed. —S. G. V/. Betijamitfs Letter.
